Frequently Asked Questions
What is Barbour clothing made of?
Based on our analysis of 469 Barbour products, the average garment is 70% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 68.4% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.
Is Barbour cotton?
Sometimes — cotton appears in 68.4% of the 469 Barbour products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 56.7% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.
Is Barbour 100% cotton?
Effectively no. We didn't find any Barbour products that are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) in our database. Cotton at Barbour is almost always blended with elastane, polyester, or other fibres.
How much polyester does Barbour use?
14.7% of Barbour products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.
Is Barbour mostly synthetic?
14.7% of Barbour products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 70%, so the rest of the catalog is mostly natural-led.
Does Barbour use natural fabrics?
56.7% of Barbour products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.
Is Barbour sustainable in terms of fabric?
Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 70% natural fibre, Barbour is better than many competitors on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.
